Multiple Choice

Langley Corporation replaced an HVAC system in one of its warehouses in July, 2017, at a cost of $410,000. The accountant recording the purchase charged it to repairs and maintenance expense. The error was discovered late in 2018 while reconciling depreciation expense for 2018. The system should last about 7 years with no salvage value. What entry should be made before the 2018 books are closed if the company uses straight-line depreciation? (Round intermediate calculations to the nearest cent and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
